Chapter 228
Mr. Zhang has retired for several years, but he is still well-informed about internal information. After all, many of the current leaders were his former subordinates.
Therefore, all the generations of the Zhang family who served in the military were present in the study.
Father Zhang, Second Uncle Zhang, Third Uncle Zhang, Zhang Chaozheng, Zhang Chaolang, Zhang Chaoyang, and Zhang Chaoyu were all there.
There is also Zhang Chaomiao, who works at a military newspaper and is on a business trip. Zhang Chaoheng hasn't had his holiday yet and hasn't come over. Zhang Chaobo was still a student, so he didn't come in.
The old man looked at his three sons and three grandsons, and finally, his gaze stopped on Zhang Chaoyang.
“Chaoyang, your current position will have great development in the future, as long as you keep yourself stable.
Others, please also behave yourself and don't do anything that violates discipline. When the time comes, no one will be able to save you.
Not only you, but also your family members, must exercise self-discipline.
Now is a critical period. If you violate the rules, you will regret it. ”
In the study, national affairs were being discussed.
In the living room, people talk about family matters.
In Zhang Chaoyang's generation, there are six brothers, and two sisters, Zhang Chaolu and Zhang Chaoru, a total of eight children.
Aunt Zhang's son and daughter have lived in the Northwest for several years. They are not familiar with their cousins, and they do not join the army.
Xu Di felt relieved that the children were being looked after by Bai Weiwei and her sister.
Lin Wei came in later than Xu Di and the others, and she was not familiar with the elders of the Zhang family present, so she sat next to Xu Di.
Zhang Chaozheng's wife was admitted to a teachers' college and is also attending school now. Aunt Zhang helps take care of the child.
She is a cadre in the art troupe and is about to retire. Her job is very easy.
Zhang Chaoyu’s wife had just given birth to her second child. She did not take the college entrance examination and worked in logistics in the army.
Actually, Xu Di was not very familiar with the couple. They had only met each other a few times. She lived with her grandmother. Although Grandma Fang was not wrong, she still felt a little resistant to the old man from the Zhang family.
Also, her relationship with Zhang Chaoyang's parents is average. Although they don't say bad things to each other, they just don't get along.
Just like now, when several children are playing together at home, Zhang's mother will hint in her words that there must be a boy in the family.
He urged her and Lin Wei to have another child, both openly and secretly. Especially to her, he acted as if it was for her own good, and almost said something to make her die.
Lin Wei and Xu Di smiled at each other. This mother-in-law, whom they had only seen once in eight generations, all she had in her eyes was the twins from Zhang Chaoheng's family and the three children from Zhang Chaoru's family. He didn't care about his other grandchildren, especially his granddaughter, but now he is talking about them. I really don't know what he is thinking?
"Xu Di, did you hear what I said?"
"Tell me what you said to my wife."
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang and the others finished talking and came out of the study, he heard his mother questioning his wife.
"Chaoyang, we are just talking about family matters. You don't need to know."
When Zhang's mother met her second son's eyes, she felt a little scared.
"Mom, this is not right. You want me to give birth to a son. Zhang Chaoyang doesn't know that this seems impossible. After all, I can't give birth to a child myself."
Xu Di looked at Zhang's mother with a smile on her face. She said one thing in front of her son and another behind his back.
"Why give birth to a son? I have three daughters, which is enough.
The country advocates gender equality and the idea of having fewer and better children. As a soldier, I must follow the national policy.
Moreover, my wife has to take care of grandma and three children alone. Can't you see how hard she is working? ”
Zhang Chaoyang never expected his mother to help them take care of the children. He himself was abandoned, so how could he expect his parents to love his children?
"Aren't there domestic workers? Why is it so hard? Isn't this how we all get by?"
Zhang's mother thought they were just being pretentious. What's so hard about it? Everyone has been through that time.
“If you don’t think it’s hard, that’s your business, but I can’t let my wife and children suffer.
My three daughters are wonderful and I love them very much. I don't expect you to be a loving grandmother. You just need to live in peace and not interfere with each other. Don't make trouble for no reason. ”
Zhang Chaoyang spoke quietly as he didn't want the children to hear. However, several people who came out of the study heard it, including the old man of the Zhang family.
He knew that Chaoyang was also speaking to him. It is also telling everyone that Zhang Chaoyang does not care about his son and will not have any more children.
"Forget it, I shouldn't mind your business."
Zhang's mother felt humiliated as she was contradicted by her own son in front of his sisters-in-law.
"I shouldn't have said that."
Zhang Chaoyang doesn't care about his mother's reputation or not, he cannot neglect his wife or his daughter.
"Dad, are you done? Uncle, can I invite Brother Xuan He and Sister Chen Xin to come to my house to play? My uncle brought back a lot of toys for us, and I would like to invite Brother Xuan He and Sister Chen Xin to play."
When Yuanyuan saw that the adults had come out, she hurried over to ask, saying that she had something good that she wanted to share with her brothers and sisters.
"Yuanyuan, you are so generous, aren't you afraid that your brothers and sisters will break your toys?"
Zhang Chaolang teased Yuanyuan. The child was lively and spoke fluently.
"Don't be afraid, Brother Xuanhe will be careful. If it breaks, uncle will buy a new one."
"You are quite good at making arrangements. What if my uncle has no money?"
"My aunt has it."
Yuanyuan said it seriously, and everyone else laughed.
The tense atmosphere just now was broken, and everyone had a smile on their face no matter what they were thinking.
Zhang Chaoyang said goodbye to his grandfather and others and was about to go back.
Zhang Chaolang and Lin Wei took their children and went to see grandma with Chaoyang and others.
Xu Jun, Xu Yong and Xu Qiang bought a lot of toys for their three children one after another, not only dolls, but also toy guns, the latest educational toys from the south, and various chess toys, almost catching up with the stalls.
So, after the group arrived, Nuannuan, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan took out their toy baskets, and Xuanhe and Chenxin realized that when they said they had a lot of toys, they really did.
Five children were playing with toys on the cushions in the living room, while several adults were sitting on the sofa chatting.
"Xu Di, are you familiar with my aunt's family over there?"
Lin Wei was quite surprised. She didn't expect that the legendary professor aunt and her family were so approachable.
"We have a pretty good relationship. Weiwei and I are classmates, and my aunt is a professor in the Faculty of Arts."
As for Bai Weiwei's affairs, she would not tell anyone else.
"I heard the Bai brothers and sisters speak English, and it sounded like they had different accents."
Lin Wei felt that Xu Di had done a good job in teaching his three children in all aspects.
The three children are learning things at the Children's Palace, and now they can even speak English. It's amazing!
She wondered whether she should discuss with Zhang Chaolang and let Xuanhe and Xinxin also sign up for an interest class at the Children's Palace, so that they would have another way out in the future.
Although Zhang Chaolang is not in the front-line troops now, he still needs to improve his skills to prevent himself from falling behind and being eliminated by the times.
Although Zhang Chaoyang is not in the Air Force, he will fight together with comrades from other services when on missions, and the advice he gives is still very pertinent.
The whole family gathered together, and it looked quite normal.
